Deploying
IBM® Sametime® consists of a variety of servers and clients, and can be deployed to suit many different environments. The deployment instructions are organized by feature set, beginning with the minimum components that are necessary to support instant messaging, and then expanding the deployment to include features such as audio and video support, and conferencing.
Deploying an instant messaging gateway for external communities
Clients in a local IBM® Sametime® community can communicate with users in other communities through the Sametime Gateway.
Installing Sametime® Gateway Servers in a cluster
Install a cluster of IBM® Sametime® Gateway servers in a network deployment.
Creating a cluster and proxy servers
Create a Sametime® Gateway cluster, install proxy servers, and then configure the proxy servers to use the cluster. Set up node replication only if you need high availability and failover, and then start the cluster.
Configuring a SIP proxy server
Configure the Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) proxy server for a cluster of IBM® Sametime® Gateway Servers. There is no need to configure external domains in the SIP proxy server; this is done through the Sametime Gateway configuration.

Configuring a SIP proxy server

Configure the Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) proxy server for a cluster of IBM® Sametime® Gateway Servers. There is no need to configure external domains in the SIP proxy server; this is done through the Sametime Gateway configuration.

Before you begin

Set up a cluster with at least one secondary node and install the SIP and XMPP proxy servers on the same physical hardware as a deployment manager, primary node, or secondary node, or install the proxy servers on separate hardware. The SIP and XMPP installation creates a new profile for the SIP and XMPP proxy servers.

About this task

After you finish setting up a SIP proxy server, you'll have a port number. You provide the port number in combination with the domain name of the node on which the SIP proxy server runs to external servers to connect to your Sametime Gateway.
